Boil Kettle Screen/Filter
|
|
So after posting about what people use in their boil kettles T-Screens, Bazooka, etc.. I ran to the local Stores looking for Scrubbie's. After five different stores with no luck i headed to the Hardware store went to the drain section and the strainers caught my eye.. So it cost me a total of $6.45 to build and is all Stainless. I posted pics of everything Worked better than i thought!

Looks good. How much hops have your used it with? Any clogging issues? What's the perforated bottom piece?

Looks great! I'd be interested in knowing if there's any clogging issues as well

Looks real simple and inexpensive but I would bet that if you were not screening your hops in a bag that thing would clog badly. There is not much surface area. I bag my hops too and I don't screen my wort at all.

I am using just the sink strainer for mine... It can get clogged with pellet hops pretty easily... Been using bags just in case...

I'm using a stainless braid and it clogged badly with pellet hops yesterday. Had to sanitize my hands/arms and reach in and coax the hops away from it the whole time I was racking to fermenter. Looking for a better option without bagging my hops, though I may end up doing that eventually.
